Turkey Picadillo

Ingredients

• 1¼ lb ground turkey
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 clove garlic
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 14½ oz diced tomatoes
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• ½ cup green olives
• ¼ cup raisins
• 1 tsp cumin
• ½ tsp oregano
• ¾ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 1 lb potatoes (optional)
• 2 cup white rice (optional)

Steps

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
2. Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato paste, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
4. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
5. Stir in green olives and raisins. Cook for another 5 minutes, uncovered, until the sauce has slightly thickened.
6. Serve hot, optionally over white rice or with cooked potatoes.
